Dug up an old prototype of a low cost monochrome 7 segment LCD display + DS18B20 temperature sensor + Atmega328 + RFM69 433Mhz transceiver project. 30uA sleep current. e-paper is still relatively more expensive alternative. #IoT

49mA with display off and maximum wifi power savings + DFS enabled while maintaining WiFi and 433Mhz connections to low power battery sensors Note that this is at 5.12V or roughly 80mA on 3.3V; CPU speed varied between 160 and 80Mhz as needed
Added GUI to show serial debug output to the TFT https://youtu.be/19-C5f2eHmQ #esp32 #iot #lvgl #embedded
It's close to a year since I started working on my ESP32 based thermostat controller/gateway project with TFT display. It now has 120K+ lines of code (components included), work done entirely at nights/weekends. What's the longest you have worked on a passion project? #IoT https://x.com/mharizanov/status/1027868368500666368

Testing the TFT32 ESP32 project on a 3.5″ ILI9488 480×320 resistive touch TFT – mostly a matter of adapting the display drivers.

Testing ILI9488 3.5" TFT clocked @ 40Mhz in 4 wire SPI mode with DMA, looks pretty responsive. #LittlevGL #ESP32 https://youtu.be/HVVAo9QdOfM

It lives! #esp32 + 480*320 ILI9488 #TFT with touch + #LORA (not yet populated on the PCB) + RTC + piezo buzzer

Prototype PCBs for ESP32 3.5" TFT IoT control hub project

Drafting a 3.5" TFT+touch version of my IoT control hub project; upgraded to ESP32 WROVER to benefit from the extra PSRAM. Planning on adding LoRa support

Bigger is better.. 3.5" 480×320 TFT with touch for a future version of my #ESP32 IoT control hub project

Experimenting with dynamic frequency shifting, modem light sleep and TFT dimming to bring down power consumption to roughly 60mA while maintaining Wi-Fi connection to MQTT #ESP32
New post: TFT32 – ESP32 based IoT control hub/gateway with TFT, RFM69 and more https://wp.me/sawL3e-tft32

TFT32 is my ESP32 based IoT control hub/gateway with touch TFT and RFM69 – and why I want less cloud in my home automation.

20 pcs #ESP32 TFT project ready 🙂

Added GUI to monitor OTA updates to #ESP32 TFT project

Testing 3D printed enclosure for #ESP32 TFT project #IoT, looks and feels much more finished now 🙂
TO-DO: research project feasibility: swap the RFM69 for a LoRaWAN on my #ESP32 TFT project and use it as SIM-less urban car telemetry/location tracker

20 PCBs for revision 6 of my #ESP32 #TFT project arrived. I think that it is complete now, need to stop shelling money on perfecting it at least 🙂 Now awaiting components delivery to run a small batch SMD assembly. I will have few spares to sell late December

The 3D-printable enclosure for my #ESP32 TFT display project is taking shape, but still WIP.. #IoT

Working on a 3D-printable enclosure for my #ESP32 TFT #IoT project

Touch display arrived today. Did some SMD soldering by hand, all works well at first glance. Tons of coding ahead.. #ESP32 #TFT #IoT #RFM69

Pushing an ILI9341 TFT to its limits with 60MHz DMA-enabled SPI on #ESP32 Correction: SPI can only run on 80/n frequencies [n between 1 and 8], so 8MHz, 8.89MHz, 10MHz, 11.43MHz, 16MHz, 20MHz, 26.67MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz . Setting SPI clock to 60MHz actually meant it got mapped to 40MHz, anything>60MHz meant setting to 80MHz. That…

LiPo batteries for an upcoming #ESP32 e-paper display project arrived

Did another PCB revision to my #ESP32 TFT project to allow the use of a resistive touchscreen. Did that after seeing my daughter push the screen on a prototype of my non-touch version with a finger in an attempt to use the GUI.. obviously, button-controlled GUI is not intuitive

Testing button driven (touch-less) GUI on ILI9341 320×240 TFT using #LittlevGL powered by #ESP32

Testing Ili9341 TFT hardware scrolling with appropriate use case #ESP32

Running TFT demo on my #ESP32 gateway project

Added TFT support to a RFM69+BLE<–>MQTT gateway PoC project. So many ideas, so little free time to materialize them..

Toying with a two color e-paper display, amazing technology.. Thinking of low power battery display applications #iot
